The espresso Lite 15 is an excellent accessory for on the go users and travellers. Once you use the espresso portable monitor you will always want to use it and wonder how you ever got by without it.
You can improve your workflow and increase your productivity with the new espresso Lite 15 – the latest and most affordable portable monitor from the Australian company.
Tech Guide got hold of the white espresso Lite 15 – yes it comes in colours now – white, black, mint, orange and purple – so you can personalise and match and improve the experience.
The portable monitor has a 15.6-inch 16:9 LCD Full HD panel that runs at 60Hz.
It can display 100 per cent of the eRGB colour space so editors, artists and designers can have accurate colours at their fingertips.
It’s also quite light (it weighs just 700g) and thinner (it’s 9.5mm thick) than a laptop so it’s no effort to pack into your bag.
We used it out and about and the 400 nits brightness meant we could clearly see the espresso display even in bright conditions and outside.
For us, the espresso portable display is an essential tool whenever we leave our office with our laptop.
And it’s also one of the first things we pack before we travel.
The screen connects to our laptop – it works with Mac and Windows laptops – with a single included cable and offers us a whole extra screen to make it easier to spread out our work and get things done.
It also comes with a stand so the monitor can be positioned above our laptop screen if space is tight but there is nothing to stop you placing the espresso Lite 15 beside your laptop.
You can do this with a simple adjustment of the versatile magnetic stand that holds the screen securely in place.
Users can also connect to a tablet and a smartphone.
And it draws its power from the connected device so there’s no need to lug around an extra power supply.
With the espresso Lite 15 it has a rugged ABS plastic construction so it can handle daily on-the-go use.
For us the ability to spread our work with the espresso Lite 15 makes us more efficient and increases our productivity.
But you are not limited using the display as a second screen.
They can also be connected to cameras and used as a monitor to see your frame for your pictures and videos.
It can fit in many situations where you need a screen or an extra screen.
Being the entry level product the Lite 15 is not a touchscreen.
If it’s a portable touchscreen you’re after, espresso has plenty of options.
The espresso Lite 15 offers excellent value and will meet the needs – and the budget – of even more users.
It is priced at $399 and available now in black, white, mint, orange and purple.
VERDICT
The espresso Lite 15 is an excellent accessory for on the go users and travellers. Once you use the espresso portable monitor you will always want to use it and wonder how you ever got by without it.
